Hello fellow educator!
I am sharing this guided reading resource with you in the hopes that it will save you some bit of time and enhance your guided reading lesson. I know I lose countless hours looking up resources, creating resources and copying resources myself, so if this helps you in any way, then I count that as a small victory for our educating community.
Please note that this resource is in PDF and Power Point so that you can edit it to how you see fit. This particular resource for Peter Pan has a focus on vocabulary. As this novel is written over 100 years ago, it contains archaic language and concepts. I used it with students prepping for the 11+ exam. Please note that the Guided Reading Record Sheet has the vocabulary presented as it comes up in each chapter. The vocabulary at the end of the resource is designed to be shared with students in the form of bookmarks or similar to support independent reading.

Hello!
I created this for a pupil I was tutoring for the 11 Plus exam. But it can easily be used with a class/exam prep group. There are 10 words per page, written in sentences to support students deciphering words in context (10 pages in all). Definitions for the words are mixed up to the right to choose from. I have found this an extremely helpful way to expose my student to more vocabulary, connect it in context and continually revisit the words. I also write the words on coloured lolly sticks to play Boom (explained in resource).
OPTIONS:
Give out sheets with sentences and definition choices. Pupils write the number of definition next to vocabulary word after reading sentences (drawing lines across gets messy).
More challenging: Give the sheets without the definition choices. Pupils write a simple definition next to word above sentence.
Give quiz at the end of the week and/or randomly over the next few weeks/months.
ANSWERS INCLUDED for you or students to use for marking
I hope it helps! I will be creating more that include crosswords, so look out for that in the future.
Best,
Kelli
